In the assessment completed under section 143(3) vide an order dated 10.12.2010, the total income as declared by the assessee in the return of income at 'nil' was accepted by the Assessing Officer.

CIT on the explanation offered by the assessee on merit and he finally revised the assessment order passed by the Assessing Officer on the ground that proper and sufficient enquiry was not conducted by the assessee on the issues raised in the notice issue under section 263.

He even did not point out as to how the enquiry made by the Assessing Officer was not sufficient and proper and even failed to point out as to what further enquiry the Assessing Officer was expected to do on the relevant issues.
